There are about a bazillion trees in the world, and there are about a bazillion things you can do with these tree vectors (I’m not spelling silhouette again, my fingers protested too much).  Ain’t BittBox the bomb???

By the way, I sure am glad that I wasn’t the grunt that was asked to path around that guy up there, jeeezus.

If you are lucky enough to own a Cricut cutter like I am, and haven’t had a single moment to play with it, like I haven’t, then maybe these will hold you over till you can get some good old fashioned tag making done – also from Pattern Head.

I always wondered how they got this kind of look on the t-shirts I’m always buying…guess those t-shirt guys are going to be out of business soon, because now that I know how to make them myself and I can choose all the particulars of the design, why buy at Wal-Mar….I mean Abercrombie…anyway, from BittBox….

I found this wonder set of photographs on But Does It Float.  I have no idea what is being photographed, but they simply beautiful.  I’m often inspired by SEM photography, I find it very powerful to take something that can’t be seen by the naked eye and bring it into focus for viewing by the masses, and while I don’t think this is that kind of photography, it doesn’t really matter, because it still conveys the sense of making the invisible visible.

Notcouture is really a great place to go and see a lot of really pretty things fairly quikly.  I love the layout of the site, which is set up with 10 rows of five images on the page.  The images are large enough for you to get a good look, and the text is small enough that if you’re there to see the pictures then it won’t bother you.  If you find something you like and want to see more of, you click-tha-pic and you’re off to the originating site. No mess, no muss no fuss.  I love popping over there and browsing 10 or 12 pages just to get my mind nice and stimulated for a good heavy think. So check it out and let ME know what you think….because I’m beginning to think I’m talking to myself over here.

Now that we’ve cleared that up, thanks to InspirationFeed for the quick how-to below.
